Gideon The Ninth Series Novels & Stories

He growled, his teeth clenched in anger. My heart sank upon hearing those words. The Valley of Dry Bones was a place of despair and slow death. But even so, it was a chance to live and, maybe, to prove my innocence someday. "Guards, take this filthy whore away from me," Gideon ordered, his voice full of cold authority. "She doesn't deserve to stay another second in my presence, or I will end up plunging this knife into her neck and cutting her into a thousand pieces."

I'd heard of it in old tales, a being that thrived on jealousy and hatred, waiting for the perfect opportunity to corrupt. Lucius's face twisted with rage and sorrow. "So it was you," he said, his voice hollow. "You killed Prophetess Kim." Gideon's laugh was sharp and cruel. "Yes, I did. And I made sure to pin it on her." He gestured toward me, his eyes gleaming with malice. "You're smarter than I gave you credit for, Your Majesty." The air grew heavy, crackling with energy as Gideon raised his sword. It glowed with an unnatural light, the same energy that had decimated the mages earlier. "Now, let's end this."

His heavy head dropped onto my shoulder, his forehead burning hot against my neck as he gasped for air, his teeth gritted so hard I heard them crack. “Dominic!” I screamed, my hands flying to his back, my fingers instantly slick with his hot, dark crimson blood. “I told you...” he choked out, a spray of blood hitting my torn collarbone as his fingers tightened into the fabric of my dress, pinning me beneath him. “Nobody... touches you.” “Target reloaded! Draw!” Gideon’s voice boomed through the mist, entirely devoid of mercy. “The King has chosen treason! Fire at will!”

“You can lie to everyone else if you want.” ​Valerius felt tension creep slowly into the air between them. But Gideon wasn’t finished. His gaze remained locked onto her face as he spoke quietly. “But my daughter recognized you immediately.” ​Valerius’s heartbeat suddenly faltered. Then Gideon stepped even closer. “And children,” he whispered coldly, “don’t mistake strangers for their mothers.”

Gideon looks genuinely confused . “ He's trying to push his bratty daughter onto Kurat . He basically threatened father with war and to pull his alliance with the royal pack.” Gideon just burst out laughing “Goddess it's good to be home , and just in time for all the fun” He says while trying not to spill his drink . —------ Last night after some time with my brothers I woke up feeling better , more positive about finding Nari . There is no denying I need to find her before the full moon in four days .

He spins the laptop so we can see the screen. Grainy CCTV from a fuel station two blocks away. Timestamp: 01:12. A black SUV pulls in. Driver stays inside. Passenger steps out—tall, charcoal suit, hair parted in the middle. Gideon. He buys nothing. Just stands under the fluorescent lights for ninety seconds—face clearly visible—then gets back in. The SUV leaves. “He’s showing us he’s here,” Zara says. “He wants us to know.” Leo doesn’t turn from the window. “He’s baiting us.”

he smiled sweetly, wincing in pain as he shuffled awkwardly. "Piper's baby?" Quinn spoke and I snapped my attention back to him. Gideon was swinging his legs childishly, now drinking the warmed liquid. The plate sat empty next to him and judging from the pungent smell coming from the jar, the mustard was too. "Uh, yeah," Caden awkwardly scratched his chin. "That one." "Good idea!" Jennifer popped up from her chair, clearly ready to get some alone time. "Gideon," I spoke as I stood and padded over to him. Quinn sent a glare in my direction when the brown haired man put his bowl down to look at me. "Let's go shower." I mumbled, watching as blood coated various parts of his body again.

“I have to consider what life would mean for you. For us.” “For us,” I echoed softly. His eyes darkened, holding mine with a weight that made the room feel smaller. “Nine days,” Gideon murmured, as though counting them in his head. “And then this house is yours too.” My throat went dry. “Nine days isn’t long.” “No,” Gideon said, voice low, steady. “It isn’t.” The silence stretched again, charged this time. I glanced down at my lap, then back at him. “I’d like to see the garden. The one she planted.”

But he would damn well do it just to be sure that this man was bluffing about having a child with his mate. Adrian's eyes remained on Gideon, whose face was not turning a pale shade of purple. Gideon was struggling to take his hand off. Why would Mia give birth to a child for such a weakling? "If Mia is truly the mother of your son, then why is she stripping and prostituting?”. Adrian continues to choke Gideon. He has always wanted to kill this man, but it was a whole different reason from the one he was choking him up for. "It's none of your goddamn business”. Gideon spat, refusing to back down even if he knew that Adrian could kill him. He reached into his pocket and grabbed out his phone

"Timothy... he’s a ghost for a reason. Don't count him out of the fight yet." "I’m not counting him out. I’m counting what I'm going to do to Lity if he so much as breathes on him." Gideon prowled back to the door, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm. "Thinking about him alone with those Rebellion fanatics... it makes the beast want to tear its way out of my skin." Kan coughed, a wet, hacking sound. "What about Gam?" Gideon froze. Gammer Hayes. Their tech specialist and only friend. "I haven't seen him since I left to get the gear. He was on the Xbox. I told him to stay clear of the kitchen."
